I can't believe I have gone 5 days without a post ! I wish I had an update for you all but, I don't. I do however still want to blog a little. I have been catching up on my Spirits & Angels and I understand how hard it can be to be left on a cliffhanger. I forget that I know what is going to happen but, you don't.
The thing is I am having another hard time, getting enough content and story to push me forward, again. I have very vauge ideas about what I want to happen but, it's hard believing them alive, if you will. I actually have multiple storylines that I have started and abandoned half way through for multiple reasons. It's funny if you read some of the draft you would notice names, chronology and things change mid-story, it's quite funny when I read it again really. As I have thought about it, I may see a solution in sight.
I will say it is absolutely crazy how similar Linda's stories are getting. It actually challenges me to change some elements and to think outside my box. While I intend to work on United Light more (I am having a hard time letting it go !)
I have noticed that even though this is Juliana's story, I have realized that she as a person ( I do not call them 'characters' because to me they are people) very underdeveloped and I want to work on her as a person more. It may create some BIG contradictions but, nothing to bad. I won't even mention it unless someone points them out. Or I run out of entries.
I wanted to address one topic in this post. Someone asked me why I don't write in third person and it is really because I like the characters to tell their own stories. When I first started writing my short stories I felt like writing in 3rd person reminded me of "Fairytale writing". It was like a storyteller saying "Once upon a time a girl did this . . . " and I could never get into that. I like my characters to tell the story, I like putting on their eyes and living the story through their eyes and experiences. In an seemingly unrelated note I think I may have to see this new Surrogate movie. I hope that explains a little into my mind. When I start writing I tend to get a little crazy.
Additionally. I do have a surprise I will announce in October.
And no it is not a horror story web-serial or zombie version of anything (although that could be fun . . .) because I could not do that.
Update you all soon !
